AFJROTC participates in H2O for Troops campaign
As an effort to support our troops for Valentine’s Day, Lambert International Airport hosts a campaign to collect packs of bottled water to donate to the USO.
The USO is a non-profit organization that supplies entertainment and relaxation for the United States military troops while they are traveling.
Aerospace Science Instructor Dave Cugier and the Air Force Junior Reserve Officer’s Corps (AFJROTC) are organizing Lafayette’s involvement with the campaign.
To become involved with the campaign, bring as small as a 12-count pack to as large as a 36-count pack of bottled water to any classroom, which will be then collected by cadets, or bring them directly to Room 162.
Lafayette will be collecting the donations from Feb. 5 to Feb. 13 and will then be collected by USO officials.
Your donation will allow our student journalists to continue their work. You may become a PATRON by making a donation at one of these levels: White/$30, Black/$50, Gold/$100. Patron names will be published in the print newsmagazine, on the website and once per quarter on our social media accounts.
![In order to meet Federal Student Aid application deadlines, many local resources, including Lafayette counselors, are available for one-on-one meetings. Even if you think your college is paid for, we still heavily recommend going ahead and filing the FAFSA so that you dont lose out on any opportunities, College and Career counselor Alex Dusenberry said. A lot of four year universities say you can only get scholarships if you complete the FASFA. [Also], it is a requirement that you complete the FSA in order to get A+ credit.](https://lancerfeed.press/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/FAFSA-graphic-1-600x400.png)

The buttons are passed down to the new STL Spark executive board members each year and they are encouraged to place them on their backpacks to help raise awareness about human trafficking. My sister, [Class of 2020 alumni] Grace Kirtley, started STL Spark when she was in high school and she would have people carry it on after she graduated, Mary said. Last year I got invited to join the board again with my sister, senior Patty Kirtley, and so weve been working on carrying her legacy a bit. Its become somewhat of a family project.](https://lancerfeed.press/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/IMG_5696-e1700061260167-600x400.jpg)
